New User Email notifcation

I am a regular Tableau user and now we are being asked to switch to Power BI.  I am trying to learn how to use BI but it seems very difficult. One thing I noticed right away...I use a lot of totals. for example Tableau always lets you select total number of records as a measure, where is this located in BI?

Thanks

Hi @Jmac2324,

From your description, I guess you want to use the 'New quick measure' function in power bi, you could refer to below link:

Ok, thanks

That is a lot of steps just to get a total count of a column on a spreadsheet.

Hi @Jmac2324, 

You could use the Quick measure 'Total for category' to get a total count of a column.
